Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMB10-6-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M6 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 10mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The LCMA10-6-C meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete LCMB10-6-L. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for stud connection, wire gauge capacity, and termination characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA10-6-C is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete LCMB10-6-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The LCMA10-6-C is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for applications previously specified with the LCMB10-6-L.

The primary dimensional difference between the two parts is overall length: the LCMB10-6-L measures 1.724" (43.79mm) while the LCMA10-6-C measures 1.213" (30.80mm). This dimensional variance must be evaluated within the context of the specific application's spatial constraints and mounting requirements. All other critical parameters—stud size, wire gauge, contact material, finish, and termination method—remain identical, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA10-6-C directly replace the LCMB10-6-L in existing applications?

A: The LCMA10-6-C provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for M6 stud connection and 10mm² wire gauge termination. The primary consideration is the overall length difference: LCMB10-6-L is 1.724" (43.79mm) while LCMA10-6-C is 1.213" (30.80mm). Verify that the shorter length of the LCMA10-6-C accommodates the spatial requirements of your application.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both the LCMB10-6-L and LCMA10-6-C carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99 classification. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from LCMB to Pan-Lug™?

A: The series designation reflects product line evolution within Panduit Corp's terminal offerings. The LCMA10-6-C represents the current active product line (Pan-Lug™ series) that supersedes the obsolete LCMB series. Functional specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are the width dimensions identical between these parts?

A: The width measurements are effectively identical: LCMB10-6-L measures 0.433" (11.00mm) while LCMA10-6-C measures 0.434" (11.02mm). This 0.001" (0.02mm) variance is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What packaging options are available for the LCMA10-6-C?

A: The LCMA10-6-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk quantity requirements align with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are both parts non-insulated?

A: Yes, both the LCMB10-6-L and LCMA10-6-C are non-insulated ring terminal connectors. If insulated terminals are required, alternative part numbers must be specified.
